Rebecca Cooper stopped by my Betty booth yesterday at Whole Foods' Local Fare with a Betty-stumping question (that's a first!). So I am sending it out to the blogosphere in hopes of a helpful reply. Where to find the supplies and know-how to construct an indoor vertical garden? Check out the email below...

Hi, Betty!

You and I chatted at the Whole Foods Local Fare Fair about possibilities for building an indoor vertical garden, like this one by Smith and Hawken:

http://www.gardeners.com/Living+Wall+Indoor/37-085RS,default,pd.html?SC=XNET8002I’m looking for a cheaper, DIY solution that would work in a small apartment. I’ve found that a search for “living wall” brings up some results (though none that are terribly helpful), but I’m wondering if anyone around Charlottesville knows how to make one of these (or even sells the parts that would be required). I think it would have broad appeal… especially in a more urban setting where space is at a premium. If you or your readers can point me in the right direction, I’d be grateful!

About Me

I find these difficult to write, but here goes... I am blessed with playing many roles in life- mom, friend, pet-lover, activist/organizer, cook, cleaning lady, teacher, student(you never stop being either one), artist. I stop to smell the flowers. A lot. But I also hit the ground running (I've been on crutches for sprained ankles at least four times). I've got lots of energy and I love people! I adore the beach. And dancing. My kids have taught me that the most important way to be in the world is just that BE, be totally present. I want to live life with my arms wide open. I want to listen with my whole body. I want to hold hands and smile when I see a better world unfolding before my very eyes.
